The Levi's 501 Original is the straight-leg, button-fly jean that defined the five-pocket style. This pair is rigid 100% cotton denim in black, so it holds its shape and fades and creases with wear rather than stretching out. It suits shoppers who want a classic, durable everyday jean and don't mind breaking it in. Against stretch-denim rivals it feels stiffer at first and less forgiving on the waist, but owners say it lasts and molds to the body over time.
